Couple's own Paris-Dakar using Land Rover transformer-camper

Brice grew up in Morocco overlanding across Africa in 4x4s and 6x6s. When he met his wife Irina they organized off-road trips across the “land of the pharaohs, and Lawrence of Arabia”, but soon realized that as a couple they wanted more overnight comfort so they turned their Land Rover into an quick-transforming micro camper.
With the press of a button, the standard car pops up and out and in 43 seconds becomes a tiny home complete with kitchen, toilet and indoor shower. To take advantage of the limited size within a standard wheelbase, the couple placed a lot on tracks: the dining table/benches slide to make room for a shower stall (rainshower fixture included); the toilet slides out from within the stall. With the push of other buttons, the bed drops down from the ceiling on wires and the back rack drops down into an instant deck.
To create a comfortable off-grid experience, the entire roof of the car is covered in solar panels which provide all of the campers’ electrical needs. The stove runs on the same diesel from the car’s tank to keep things simple and easy to access in remote regions.
The couple named their car, and company, Wild Fennec after a nocturnal fox of the Saharan desert and they are selling their vulpine vehicle for 50,000 euros.

[@micronurd]

This is the most stealthy and practical camper car i've seen, ever.

Stealth camper normally means people dont know you're in there - so you can stay somewhere with our getting moved on by the police.

[@micronurd]

You are right, i meant more while driving around or it being parked somewhere.

Well, a lot of people would have that in there garage. Good advice, keep it there... :-)

@@eberbacher007 No, no you cant. Cant think of ANY 4x4 or AWD campers for that price. Maybe a bone stock USED sprinter 4x4 that hasn't been converted yet. Otherwise (at least in the states) you're talking just shy of 100k USD to get something half as versatile as this.

[@4xoverland]

[@DesertPepper]

I totally agree!

[@mtnvr6545]

Hopefully nobody presses the "contract" button while they are inside there!

[@rangemog21]

Verry nice, as long one is no forced, for what ever reason; to leave as fast as posible , the place where one spends the night. I was a couple of times in that situation. Places that are remote and look nice in daylight, have sometimes an atraction to people who don't like daylight and do there things in remote places. Further, I don't like canvas on cars for remote traveling. That's for tents. So, it's as save as a tent. An expensive tent. Yes, I have a Unimog with a roof that go's up and no canvas. And , yes, I hit sometimes branches of trees. But there's the thing builded for, solid. And I never was forced to leave a place for... a tree . A probleme with gliding and moving things is that it's difficult to make it solid, and 4x4 drive is over roads that are not realy, euh.. roads. Trembling is not good for those nice gliders, as is dust not a good friend. And when it functions perfect as new in the workshop, the slightest deformation, makes that gliding a not gliding probleme. So, nice , a good idea and come back after five years on non-roads.
